University Don Calls For Overhaul Of Nigeria’s Education Curriculum

A
Professor of Social Studies and Citizenship Education, Prof. Abiodun
Ogunyemi of the Department of Social Studies and Citizenship Education
has challenged government and policy makers in education sector on the
need for a total overhaul of the nation’s education curriculum

Speaking during a lecture at the Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago Iwoye,
Ogun State, Prof Ogunyemi said overhauling Nigeria education must be
done to give social and citizenship education greater priority so as to
curb extinction of moral values in the country.

The lecture entitled “Search for good citizens and curriculum as
compass’’ seeks to entrench the culture of good value system in the
education sector.

He challenged those saddled with the responsibility of revising the
social studies and citizenship education curricular to make Africa their
main policy thrust and suggested that the national policy on education
should drop the label ‘General Studies’ for ‘Citizenship Education’ to
underscore the importance of Citizenship Development in Tertiary
Education.

Like most women with other things going on in your life, you probably don’t give your vaginal discharge much thought. As long as it looks and feels normal—that means clear or white and watery to slightly sticky, depending on where you are in your cycle—you have no reason to be concerned.
But when something in your undies looks or feels off, that sounds alarm bells. Maybe there’s a lot more of it than usual, the color is weird, or you’re hit with a whiff of an odor that you know can’t be good. Before you panic and buy out all the creams and sprays in your local pharmacy’s lady aisle, read these 6 things your vagina may be trying to tell you:
1. It’s Clear to White, Wet, and StretchyMost Likely: Ovulation. This slippery discharge appears during the middle of your cycle; it’s your body’s way of making it easier for sperm to slide into your vagina and fertilize an egg. “Discharge at ovulation can be copious,” says Dr. Alyssa Dweck, ob-gyn and coauthor of V Is for Vagina. “I often hear fr…

Reading emails on your skin may sound wacky, but not for the French designers working on a bracelet that projects your smartphone content onto your arm. To turn the surreal Cicret device into reality, the designers are seeking funding.

A video explaining how the device works has gone viral, racking up 4,222,427 views on YouTube at the time of this article’s publication. The Cicret website says the designers are still working on the prototype of the waterproof bracelet that promises to “make your skin your new tablet.”
“Don’t trust any website selling it yet,” they warn.
The Cicret, activated with a twist of the wrist, is equipped with an embedded memory card, processor, accelerometer, micro USB port, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. But the key part is the so-called “pico-projector”and an array of proximity sensors. The pico projector projects the interface onto your arm. When you put your finger on the interface, you stop one of eight proximity sensors. The sensor sends the information back to …

Cape Town - A new survey conducted by GoEuro has revealed that Cape Town ranks 31st among the most expensive cities in the world for accommodation.

The
price index study covered 60 000 properties - including Airbnb, 1 to 5
star hotels as well as hostels - in 150 different cities in order to
analyse the price effect on the industry and how this affects
travellers.

Unsurprisingly the index noted that many travellers
are favouring shared accommodation options like Airbnb and hostels over
traditional hotels. Another interesting point they picked up on, is the
fact that millennials are taking a greater share of the market, helping
hostels grow at a faster pace than the hotel industry.

iAfrica
reports that while the Mother City ranked 31st overall at an average
rate of $99 (R1 147 at R11.61/dollar) per night, it was 26th most
expensive for hotels and 47th for Airbnb property.
